Legal claims defining the scope of protection, as filed with the USPTO.
2. The method of claim 1 wherein the first request includes a reservation period that designates a period of time from a time of the first request within which the first quantum application will utilize the at least one qubit, and further comprising modifying the qubit metadata to reserve the first qubit for the period of time.
4. The method of claim 1 wherein the first request includes a future time at which the first quantum application will utilize the at least one qubit.
8. The method of claim 1 further comprising decrementing an available qubit counter that identifies an available number of the first plurality of qubits of the first quantum computing system.
9. The method of claim 1 wherein the first quantum computing system comprises the first computing system.
10. The method of claim 1 wherein the first computing system is a different computing system from the first quantum computing system.
18. The method of claim 17 further comprising sending, to the second quantum computing system, information indicating that the first qubit of the first plurality of qubits and the second qubit of the second plurality of qubits are reserved to thereby inhibit access to the first qubit of the first plurality of qubits and the second qubit of the second plurality of qubits by any quantum application other than the first quantum application for a period of time.
